Robert Zanatta: There are benchmarks that show a couple functions, such as exporting images, have noticeably improved performance on multiple core machines. So processors with a lot of cores showed the best improvement.

For other functions, such as 1:1 preview generation, single core performance was the determining factor. The Intel 8700K was pretty much the fastest of all the high end processors tested.

i7 8700k is still the best choice now and before 7.2. i9 is too expensive just for LR, and Ryzen is not well supported.

Scott Pickering: I don't see why Canon is number one, other then marketing. It is the least innovative of the three companies (Canon, Nikon, Sony) and is using more old technology in their cameras then the other 2. They especially are lacking in their sensor technology. Yet Canon hold the number 1 spot. I used to be a Canon guy, but switched long ago when they couldn't keep up.

Canon's image quality is still ok, far from bad - hence more than enough for most - not you perhaps.

kewlguy: I have the P10 plus and bought a Mate 10 Pro for my son. Can't see myself buying Samsung anymore. The Huaweis are that good :)

I'm considering to replace my P10+ but I can't decide between Mate 10 or Mate 10 Pro yet. For sure, the CPU is simply excellent, the Oreo is stable and both Mate 10/Pro have good screens with good color accuracy. Build quality has always been good, my daughter has been using the P9 plus since its first release in 2016.
